Josh.3.1

Joshua was up early and on his way from Shittim with all the People of Israel with him. He arrived at the Jordan and camped before crossing over.

Josh.3.1

Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over.

Josh.3.1

Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and they set out from Acacia Grove and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they crossed over.

Josh.3.1

Early the next morning Joshua and all the Israelites left Acacia and arrived at the banks of the Jordan River, where they camped before crossing.

Josh.3.2

After three days, leaders went through the camp

Josh.3.2

After three days the officers went throughout the camp,

Josh.3.2

So it was, after three days, that the officers went through the camp;

Josh.3.2

Three days later, the Israelite leaders went through the camp

Josh.3.3

and gave out orders to the people: "When you see the Covenant-Chest of GOD, your God, carried by the Levitical priests, start moving. Follow it.

Josh.3.3

giving orders to the people: "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, who are Levites, carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it.

Josh.3.3

and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it.

Josh.3.3

giving these instructions to the people: "When you see the Levitical priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD your God, follow them.

Josh.3.4

Make sure you keep a proper distance between you and it, about half a mile--be sure now to keep your distance!-and you'll see clearly the route to take. You've never been on this road before."

Josh.3.4

Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about a thousand yards between you and the ark; do not go near it."

Josh.3.4

Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before."

Josh.3.4

Since you have never traveled this way before, they will guide you. Stay about a half mile behind them, keeping a clear distance between you and the Ark. Make sure you don't come any closer."

Josh.3.5

Then Joshua addressed the people: "Sanctify yourselves. Tomorrow GOD will work miracle-wonders among you."

Josh.3.5

Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you."

Josh.3.5

And Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you."

Josh.3.5

Then Joshua told the people, "Purify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do great wonders among you."

Josh.3.6

Joshua instructed the priests, "Take up the Chest of the Covenant and step out before the people." So they took it up and processed before the people.

Josh.3.6

Joshua said to the priests, "Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people." So they took it up and went ahead of them.

Josh.3.6

Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people." So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

Josh.3.6

In the morning Joshua said to the priests, "Lift up the Ark of the Covenant and lead the people across the river." And so they started out.

Josh.3.7

GOD said to Joshua, "This very day I will begin to make you great in the eyes of all Israel. They'll see for themselves that I'm with you in the same way that I was with Moses.

Josh.3.7

And the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.

Josh.3.7

And the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

Josh.3.7

The LORD told Joshua, "Today I will begin to make you great in the eyes of all the Israelites. Now they will know that I am with you, just as I was with Moses.

Josh.3.8

You will command the priests who are carrying the Chest of the Covenant: "When you come to the edge of the Jordan's waters, stand there on the river bank.'"

Josh.3.8

Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: 'When you reach the edge of the Jordan's waters, go and stand in the river.'"

Josh.3.8

You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, "When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, you shall stand in the Jordan."'

Josh.3.8

Give these instructions to the priests who are carrying the Ark of the Covenant: `When you reach the banks of the Jordan River, take a few steps into the river and stop.'"

Josh.3.9

Then Joshua addressed the People of Israel: "Attention! Listen to what GOD your God, has to say.

Josh.3.9

Joshua said to the Israelites, "Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God.

Josh.3.9

So Joshua said to the children of Israel, "Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God."

Josh.3.9

So Joshua told the Israelites, "Come and listen to what the LORD your God says.

Josh.3.10

This is how you'll know that God is alive among you--he will completely dispossess before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.

Josh.3.10

This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites.

Josh.3.10

And Joshua said, "By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:

Josh.3.10

Today you will know that the living God is among you. He will surely drive out the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.

Josh.3.11

Look at what's before you: the Chest of the Covenant. Think of it--the Master of the entire earth is crossing the Jordan as you watch.

Josh.3.11

See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you.

Josh.3.11

Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan.

Josh.3.11

Think of it! The Ark of the Covenant, which belongs to the Lord of the whole earth, will lead you across the Jordan River!

Josh.3.12

Now take twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from each tribe.

Josh.3.12

Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.

Josh.3.12

Now therefore, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from every tribe.

Josh.3.12

Now choose twelve men, one from each tribe.

Josh.3.13

When the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the Chest of GOD, Master of all the earth, touch the Jordan's water, the flow of water will be stopped--the water coming from upstream will pile up in a heap."

Josh.3.13

And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the LORD -the Lord of all the earth-set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap."

Josh.3.13

And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap."

Josh.3.13

The priests will be carrying the Ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth. When their feet touch the water, the flow of water will be cut off upstream, and the river will pile up there in one heap."

Josh.3.14

And that's what happened. The people left their tents to cross the Jordan, led by the priests carrying the Chest of the Covenant.

Josh.3.14

So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them.

Josh.3.14

So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

Josh.3.14

When the people set out to cross the Jordan, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant went ahead of them.

Josh.3.15

When the priests got to the Jordan and their feet touched the water at the edge (the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest),

Josh.3.15

Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge,

Josh.3.15

and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest),

Josh.3.15

Now it was the harvest season, and the Jordan was overflowing its banks. But as soon as the feet of the priests who were carrying the Ark touched the water at the river's edge,

Josh.3.16

the flow of water stopped. It piled up in a heap--a long way off--at Adam, which is near Zarethan. The river went dry all the way down to the Arabah Sea (the Salt Sea). And the people crossed, facing Jericho.

Josh.3.16

the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea ) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.

Josh.3.16

that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.

Josh.3.16

the water began piling up at a town upstream called Adam, which is near Zarethan. And the water below that point flowed on to the Dead Sea until the riverbed was dry. Then all the people crossed over near the city of Jericho.

Josh.3.17

And there they stood; those priests carrying the Chest of the Covenant stood firmly planted on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground. Finally the whole nation was across the Jordan, and not one wet foot.

Josh.3.17

The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.

Josh.3.17

Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.

Josh.3.17

Meanwhile, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the LORD's covenant stood on dry ground in the middle of the riverbed as the people passed by them. They waited there until everyone had crossed the Jordan on dry ground.

Josh.4.1

When the whole nation was finally across, GOD spoke to Joshua:

Josh.4.1

When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,

Josh.4.1

And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying:

Josh.4.1

When all the people were safely across the river, the LORD said to Joshua,

Josh.4.2

"Select twelve men from the people, a man from each tribe,

Josh.4.2

"Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,

Josh.4.2

"Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe,

Josh.4.2

"Now choose twelve men, one from each tribe.

Josh.4.3

and tell them, "From right here, the middle of the Jordan where the feet of the priests are standing firm, take twelve stones. Carry them across with you and set them down in the place where you camp tonight.'"

Josh.4.3

and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan from right where the priests stood and to carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight."

Josh.4.3

and command them, saying, "Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where you lodge tonight."'

Josh.4.3

Tell the men to take twelve stones from where the priests are standing in the middle of the Jordan and pile them up at the place where you camp tonight."

Josh.4.4

Joshua called out the twelve men whom he selected from the People of Israel, one man from each tribe.

Josh.4.4

So Joshua called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,

Josh.4.4

Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from every tribe;

Josh.4.4

So Joshua called together the twelve men

Josh.4.5

Joshua directed them, "Cross to the middle of the Jordan and take your place in front of the Chest of GOD, your God. Each of you heft a stone to your shoulder, a stone for each of the tribes of the People of Israel,

Josh.4.5

and said to them, "Go over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites,

Josh.4.5

and Joshua said to them: "Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

Josh.4.5

and told them, "Go into the middle of the Jordan, in front of the Ark of the LORD your God. Each of you must pick up one stone and carry it out on your shoulder--twelve stones in all, one for each of the twelve tribes.

Josh.4.6

so you'll have something later to mark the occasion. When your children ask you, "What are these stones to you?'

Josh.4.6

to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, 'What do these stones mean?'

Josh.4.6

that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, "What do these stones mean to you?'

Josh.4.6

We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future, your children will ask, `What do these stones mean to you?'

Josh.4.7

you'll say, "The flow of the Jordan was stopped in front of the Chest of the Covenant of GOD as it crossed the Jordan--stopped in its tracks. These stones are a permanent memorial for the People of Israel.'"

Josh.4.7

tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever."

Josh.4.7

Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever."

Josh.4.7

Then you can tell them, `They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the LORD's covenant went across.' These stones will stand as a permanent memorial among the people of Israel."

Josh.4.8

The People of Israel did exactly as Joshua commanded: They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan--a stone for each of the twelve tribes, just as GOD had instructed Joshua--carried them across with them to the camp, and set them down there.

Josh.4.8

So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the LORD had told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down.

Josh.4.8

And the children of Israel did so, just as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as the LORD had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

Josh.4.8

So the men did as Joshua told them. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan River, one for each tribe, just as the LORD had commanded Joshua. They carried them to the place where they camped for the night and constructed the memorial there.

Josh.4.9

Joshua set up the twelve stones taken from the middle of the Jordan that had marked the place where the priests who carried the Chest of the Covenant had stood. They are still there today.

Josh.4.9

Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.

Josh.4.9

Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.

Josh.4.9

Joshua also built another memorial of twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, at the place where the priests who carried the Ark of the Covenant were standing. The memorial remains there to this day.

Josh.4.10

The priests carrying the Chest continued standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything GOD had instructed Joshua to tell the people to do was done (confirming what Moses had instructed Joshua). The people crossed; no one dawdled.

Josh.4.10

Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the LORD had commanded Joshua was done by the people, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried over,

Josh.4.10

So the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that the LORD had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and crossed over.

Josh.4.10

The priests who were carrying the Ark stood in the middle of the river until all of the LORD's instructions, which Moses had given to Joshua, were carried out. Meanwhile, the people hurried across the riverbed.

Josh.4.11

When the crossing of all the people was complete, they watched as the Chest of the Covenant and the priests crossed over.

Josh.4.11

and as soon as all of them had crossed, the ark of the LORD and the priests came to the other side while the people watched.

Josh.4.11

Then it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over, that the ark of the LORD and the priests crossed over in the presence of the people.

Josh.4.11

And when everyone was on the other side, the priests crossed over with the Ark of the LORD.

Josh.4.12

The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had crossed over in battle formation in front of the People of Israel, obedient to Moses' instructions.

Josh.4.12

The men of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over, armed, in front of the Israelites, as Moses had directed them.

Josh.4.12

And the men of Reuben, the men of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.

Josh.4.12

The armed warriors from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh led the Israelites across the Jordan, just as Moses had directed.

Josh.4.13

All told, about 40,000 armed soldiers crossed over before GOD to the plains of Jericho, ready for battle.

Josh.4.13

About forty thousand armed for battle crossed over before the LORD to the plains of Jericho for war.

Josh.4.13

About forty thousand prepared for war crossed over before the LORD for battle, to the plains of Jericho.

Josh.4.13

These warriors--about forty thousand strong--were ready for battle, and they crossed over to the plains of Jericho in the LORD's presence.

Josh.4.14

GOD made Joshua great that day in the sight of all Israel. They were in awe of him just as they had been in awe of Moses all his life. [JC]

Josh.4.14

That day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they revered him all the days of his life, just as they had revered Moses.

Josh.4.14

On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.

Josh.4.14

That day the LORD made Joshua great in the eyes of all the Israelites, and for the rest of his life they revered him as much as they had revered Moses.

Josh.4.15

GOD told Joshua,

Josh.4.15

Then the LORD said to Joshua,

Josh.4.15

Then the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,

Josh.4.15

The LORD had said to Joshua,

Josh.4.16

"Command the priests carrying the Chest of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan."

Josh.4.16

"Command the priests carrying the ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan."

Josh.4.16

"Command the priests who bear the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan."

Josh.4.16

"Command the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant to come up out of the riverbed."

Josh.4.17

Joshua commanded the priests, "Come up out of the Jordan."

Josh.4.17

So Joshua commanded the priests, "Come up out of the Jordan."

Josh.4.17

Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, "Come up from the Jordan."

Josh.4.17

So Joshua gave the command.

Josh.4.18

They did it. The priests carrying GOD's Chest of the Covenant came up from the middle of the Jordan. As soon as the soles of the priests' feet touched dry land, the Jordan's waters resumed their flow within the banks, just as before.

Josh.4.18

And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and ran at flood stage as before.

Josh.4.18

And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before.

Josh.4.18

And as soon as the priests carrying the Ark of the LORD's covenant came up out of the riverbed, the Jordan River flooded its banks as before.

Josh.4.19

The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month. They set up camp at The Gilgal (The Circle) to the east of Jericho.

Josh.4.19

On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.

Josh.4.19

Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.

Josh.4.19

The people crossed the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month--the month that marked their exodus from Egypt. They camped at Gilgal, east of Jericho.

Josh.4.20

Joshua erected a monument at The Gilgal, using the twelve stones that they had taken from the Jordan.

Josh.4.20

And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan.

Josh.4.20

And those twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.

Josh.4.20

It was there at Gilgal that Joshua piled up the twelve stones taken from the Jordan River.

Josh.4.21

And then he told the People of Israel, "In the days to come, when your children ask their fathers, "What are these stones doing here?'

Josh.4.21

He said to the Israelites, "In the future when your descendants ask their fathers, 'What do these stones mean?'

Josh.4.21

Then he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, "What are these stones?'

Josh.4.21

Then Joshua said to the Israelites, "In the future, your children will ask, `What do these stones mean?'

Josh.4.22

tell your children this: "Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry ground.'

Josh.4.22

tell them, 'Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.'

Josh.4.22

then you shall let your children know, saying, "Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land';

Josh.4.22

Then you can tell them, `This is where the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground.'

Josh.4.23

"Yes, GOD, your God, dried up the Jordan's waters for you until you had crossed, just as GOD, your God, did at the Red Sea, which had dried up before us until we had crossed.

Josh.4.23

For the LORD your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The LORD your God did to the Jordan just what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over.

Josh.4.23

for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over,

Josh.4.23

For the LORD your God dried up the river right before your eyes, and he kept it dry until you were all across, just as he did at the Red Sea when he dried it up until we had all crossed over.

Josh.4.24

This was so that everybody on earth would recognize how strong GOD's rescuing hand is and so that you would hold GOD in solemn reverence always." [JC]

Josh.4.24

He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the LORD is powerful and so that you might always fear the LORD your God."

Josh.4.24

that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever."

Josh.4.24

He did this so that all the nations of the earth might know the power of the LORD, and that you might fear the LORD your God forever."

Josh.5.1

When all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and the Canaanite kings along the seacoast heard how GOD had stopped the Jordan River before the People of Israel until they had crossed over, their hearts sank; the courage drained out of them just thinking about the People of Israel.

Josh.5.1

Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until we had crossed over, their hearts melted and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.

Josh.5.1

So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.

Josh.5.1

When all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings who lived along the Mediterranean coast heard how the LORD had dried up the Jordan River so the people of Israel could cross, they lost heart and were paralyzed with fear.

Josh.5.2

At that time GOD said to Joshua, "Make stone knives and circumcise the People of Israel a second time."

Josh.5.2

At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites again."

Josh.5.2

At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time."

Josh.5.2

At that time the LORD told Joshua, "Use knives of flint to make the Israelites a circumcised people again."

Josh.5.3

So Joshua made stone knives and circumcised the People of Israel at Foreskins Hill.

Josh.5.3

So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloth.

Josh.5.3

So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

Josh.5.3

So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the entire male population of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.

Josh.5.4

This is why Joshua conducted the circumcision. All the males who had left Egypt, the soldiers, had died in the wilderness on the journey out of Egypt.

Josh.5.4

Now this is why he did so: All those who came out of Egypt-all the men of military age-died in the desert on the way after leaving Egypt.

Josh.5.4

And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.

Josh.5.4

Joshua had to circumcise them because all the men who were old enough to bear arms when they left Egypt had died in the wilderness.

Josh.5.5

All the people who had come out of Egypt, of course, had been circumcised, but all those born in the wilderness along the way since leaving Egypt had not been.

Josh.5.5

All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the desert during the journey from Egypt had not.

Josh.5.5

For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.

Josh.5.5

Those who left Egypt had all been circumcised, but none of those born after the Exodus, during the years in the wilderness, had been circumcised.

Josh.5.6

The fact is that the People of Israel had walked through that wilderness for forty years until the entire nation died out, all the men of military age who had come out of Egypt but had disobeyed the call of GOD. GOD vowed that these would never lay eyes on the land GOD had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Josh.5.6

The Israelites had moved about in the desert forty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the LORD. For the LORD had sworn to them that they would not see the land that he had solemnly promised their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Josh.5.6

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD--to whom the LORD swore that He would not show them the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, "a land flowing with milk and honey."

Josh.5.6

The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for forty years until all the men who were old enough to bear arms when they left Egypt had died. For they had disobeyed the LORD, and the LORD vowed he would not let them enter the land he had sworn to give us--a land flowing with milk and honey.

Josh.5.7

But their children had replaced them. These are the ones Joshua circumcised. They had never been circumcised; no one had circumcised them along the way.

Josh.5.7

So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised. They were still uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised on the way.

Josh.5.7

Then Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

Josh.5.7

So Joshua circumcised their sons who had not been circumcised on the way to the Promised Land--those who had grown up to take their fathers' places.

Josh.5.8

Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." So the place has been called Gilgal to this day.

The People of Israel continued to camp at The Gilgal. They celebrated the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the plains of Jericho.

On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover.

Josh.5.10

While the Israelites were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they celebrated Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month--the month that marked their exodus from Egypt.

The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.

And then no more manna; the manna stopped. As soon as they started eating food grown in the land, there was no more manna for the People of Israel. That year they ate from the crops of Canaan. [JC]

Josh.5.12

The manna stopped the day after they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate of the produce of Canaan.

Josh.5.12

Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.

Josh.5.12

No manna appeared that day, and it was never seen again. So from that time on the Israelites ate from the crops of Canaan.
